We have just introduced a great dash kit for the Mini that you can purchase in Real or Synthetic wood, Carbon Fiber (Black/Gray or Red or Yellow or Blue), or Synthetic Brushed Aluminum. Here is the link that takes you to that page on our site, which shows a schematic of the pieces. It ranges in price from $253 to $333 depending on the finish you choose. There are no shipping or handling charges. Here is the link:

No offense, but YUCK! That would look just terrible. Only part of the dash is covered. There is no panel for the glove box trim?!?! That's rediculous. And the door trim is rather odd. The door ovals need the trim, not the top of the door. Who comes up with these kits and what have they been smoking?

Attention retailers: We need a kit that covers ALL the trim panels, not just random ones...and the door ovals need the trim, not the top of the door.

If you had a MINI Cooper S, you'd have the top of the door panel in carbon fiber, the door oval in brushed alloy patina, and the cross bar in silver...not to mention the door panel color. So just the door panel alone would have 4 different trims. That would look disgusting IMO. And the dash would be even worse. You'd have the brushed alloy patina glove box panel showing, the silver support staulks/tach/speedo and the carbon fiber pieces. Can you say obnoxiously busy?

I'm not trying to be mean, but this is just ludicrous. It's like offering an aftermarket wheel set that only includes 3 tires.

I think that may be a little harsh; but a couple of interior photos showing a WOOD option, and 1 (or more) Carbon/fiber options might help folks "visualize" the look you were trying to provide for the MINI. The little "option" photos look like you have some interesting options, but it's difficult to imagine how they would alter (improve?) the interior design of the car.
